UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.

to anyone who finishes fights. Not the knockout, submission, or fight of the night bonuses, but anyone who finishes a fight. UFC has extra cash to throw around why not toss fighters 5 grand if they finish fights. Most fighters need the extra money so fights would be much more fast paced and exciting. Thoughts.

it would probably make the fighters, especially outside the top tier, a bit more gung ho about their fights. Personally i like the way it is now. Decisions dont bother me as long as the fights are entertaining.

I dont just watch the fights for a KO or submission. I get entertained by the whole aspect of the sport. The tactics, the energy, its all good to me.

In saying that im all for fighters making more money. If it means more people get noticed by casual fans, sponsors etc then im all for it.

I like the 'extra cash' justification. If Zuffa does, in fact, have extra cash, it seems it would make more sense to put it back into the promotion, since I don't think having more KOs or more exhausted fighters failing to get KOs will translate to a significant boost in revenue.

They might make a few happy fighters (they got a win) a little happier on fight night, but that's about it. Reinvesting it into the promotion would allow them to expand the business so fighters can get paid more often (happier fighters) and there will be even more extra cash available.
